Motors, Starters & Marine-Specific Considerations

Inside this lesson
  • Explain why an induction motor draws a large starting current (roughly 6 × full-load current)
  • Describe direct-on-line (DOL) starting and when it is acceptable
  • Explain star-delta starting and why it reduces starting current to about one third
  • Relate motor-starting inrush to bus voltage dip -- the marine driver for limiting it
